Kurt Weill
Johnny’s Song
[Verse 1]
When man was first created
I'm sure his maker meant
Him for some good intent
Kind heart and love, forgiving wrong

[Verse 2]
And though through ages fated
To climb our wandering way
At last we'll find the day
When joy shall be our song

[Bridge]
I hear from every doubting Thomas
The world's a mighty cruel place
The broken hearts, the broken promise
The evil of the human race

[Verse 3]
But you and I don't think so
We know there's something still
Of good beyond such ill
Of right beyond the wrong

[Interlude]
And we'll never lose our faith and hope
And trust in all mankind
We'll work and strive while we're alive
That better way to find
[Verse 4]
As up and down I wander
My weary way and long
I meet all kind of folks
Who listen to my song
